Very smart idea. I use RecUp (was DropVox) a ton - mostly to capture nice moments or sounds (not meetings). I record speculatively - I think/hope nice audio is coming, so I press record. Sometimes I'm right, often I'm wrong. When I listen later it often takes a few listens to recall what I was trying to record. Looking forward to trying this.
Having now fiddled with it a bit, here a few comments:

Double-tap didn't seem to work for me.

In the "Saving..." alert I recommend indicating how much time is being saved (e.g., "Saving last 10 secs")

I recommend including the past ten or twenty seconds in with the real-time recording. Usually there will be some trigger that makes one want to start recording in real time, so would be good for that to be included.

My particular use-case is what I described above: audio mementos. For example, recording a speech the principal gave to new students on my daughter's first day of elementary school, or a ridiculously funny impression my son does. I want those as mp3 files in Dropbox. That's a feature I'm willing to pay for, as I did w/ RecUp.

I'm curious about the "sign in" option on your site. Is the idea to sync notes?
